2020 Map of Tarry

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders through this agricultural landscape on the Jefferson and Lincoln county line, shaping the placement of early settlements and road networks. The intricate drainage pattern of the region is defined by numerous wetland features, including Beaver Brake, Hastings Brake, and Sneeds Brake, which sit alongside established hamlets like Tamo, Tarry, and Yorktown. For those tracing local history, the map identifies small rural communities and burial sites such as Marzel Cem, New Macedonia Cem, and White Church Cem. The crossing at Atkinson Ford Bridge and the winding course of Deep Bayou illustrate how the hydrology of the Arkansas Delta dictated the movement of goods and people between these scattered rural hubs.
